An early pick from as I think that the odds for this game are gonna drop drastically.I cannot believe that the bookies are still on PAO side after they have played so bad recently.

PAO is the raining European champs but they don't look as that side anymore.They have proved that they are in awful form and that is not a one or two games of bad results.After dropping out of Europe against Partizan in Belgrade their confidence will be shaken up a bit.I had a chance to watch PAO this season for a several times and there is no doubt about it, they play an excellent defense but they lack shooting options in the attack because all of their top three stars Spanoulis,Diamantidis and Jasikevicius is in a bad form.On the paper they are a better side than Olympiakos but they didn't prove that this season.Something is wrong in this team and I have backed them up against Egaleo hoping that they will trash them because they needed a big win to boost their morale but they didn't manage.They have a lot of trouble against such a average side.

After Giannakis took Oly they are a different team.Their game is based on defense and this is working superbly.They have improved a lot in the past month.They have won all important games they had against Maccabi on the road,Zalgiris also on the road and Real Madrid at home reducing them to only 63 points and Spain side is an excellent shooting team.They had two defeats in the Euroleague and they managed to go trough with 4 in a row wins in such a strong group.They won this do or die game 72-63 playing excellent in the last quarter like they did in Jerusalim.Their confidence will be enormous and I can't see them losing this game.One only problem is that tradition is firmly on Panathinaikos side but PAO don't deserve to be a favorite in this one for sure.

I will be looking for to capitalize on this stupid mistake that bookies made and I will take Olympiakos and under here with maximum stakes.
